ABSTRACT
The recent advances in machine learning have led to an escalation in media coverage on the topics of artificial intelligence and robotics. To understand the attitudes and apprehensions of the general public towards intelligent robots, we conducted a first pilot study where participants filled in a survey including the Negative Attitude towards Robots Scale. This work reports and discusses the results of this study with respect to culture and age.
